[quote=Anonymous] I've sort of ruminated on this for days before deciding to post. Not sure if it's a troll or not. Anyhow, my dc is considered 2E. So, they are dx ASD and is dx gifted. They are very smart, and ASD affects their life every day. I try to give them every opportunity I can. I don't know what their future looks like. You can't really predict, especially at 3 OP. I try to be prepared for whatever eventuality happens, whether they go away to college, get a job, or go on SSI. I'm prepared for them to live with me always, while also trying to prepare them for independent living. You need to accept the child you have, however that looks-not the kid you thought you'd have.[/quote]
